Yes, more from me! I guess when i’m on a roll there’s no self control! (taken from the Green Day song, Hitchin’ a Ride) Afterall, recently i’ve been back to listening to some japanese songs and I must say some of them are pretty good and well, refreshing! One such is Miss Utada.
This is Utada ‘the chart topper’ Hikaru latest single, Prisoner of Love. This song is dedicated to Aiko, as she was the one who recommended this song to me. This song is also found in her latest album Heart Station. In this single however, it features a ‘quiet’ version, which basically translate to a slower beat. Yes, very much like what she did on Flavor of Life. Back then it was called ‘The Ballad Version’. Yes, the japanese marketing strategy. Hikki strikes gold again with this very catchy pop song, which i think sounds pretty similar to Beautiful World or a mix from her other songs. I don’t know, maybe all her songs sound alike that it makes one think that ‘where have i heard this before’. Well, can you blame the artist as this is her style, and one that she excels very much in. I like this song, kudos to one of japan’s most famous singer!
I’m a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
I’m just a prisoner of love
A prisoner of love
heiki na kao de uso wo tsuite
waratte iyake ga sashite
raku bakari shiyou to shite ita
naimononedari BURU-SU
mina yasuragi wo motomete iru
michitariteru noni ubaiau
ai no kage wo otte iru
taikutsu na mainichi ga kyuu ni kagayakidashita
anata ga arawareta ano hi kara
kodoku demo tsurakutemo heiki da to omoeta
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
I’m a prisoner of love
yameru toki mo sukoyaka naru toki mo
arashi no hi mo hare no hi mo tomo ni ayumou
I’m gonna tell you the truth
hitoshirezu tsurai michi wo erabu
watashi wo ouen shite kureru
anata dake wo tomo to yobu
tsuyogari ya yokubari ga muimi ni narimashita
anata ni ai sareta ano hi kara
jiyuu demo yoyuu demo hitori ja munashii wa
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
Oh mou sukoshi da yo
Don’t you give up
Oh misutenai zettai ni
zankoku na genjitsu ga futari wo hikisakeba
yori issou tsuyoku hikareau
ikura demo ikura demo ganbareru ki ga shita
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
arifureta nichijou ga kyuu ni kagayakidashita
kokoro wo ubawareta ano hi kara
kodoku demo tsurakutemo heiki da to omoeta
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
I’m a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
I’m just a prisoner of love
I’m a prisoner of love
Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
hitori ni sasenai

hey… thx for the dedication ^^ my favorite part of her voice is here “I’m gonna tell you the truth/ hitoshirezu tsurai michi wo erabu/ watashi wo ouen shite kureru/ anata dake wo tomo to yobu..” so melodious and swaying…
Hi Aiko,
my favourite part is towards the end, when she sings ’stay with me, stay with me, my baby, say you love me…’
